What on earth are you on about? The article is referring to Variety, which refers to Puck as having broken the story. Are Variety, the renowned trade publication, and Puck, an independent and journalist-owned publication also "tabloid

A lot of present-day mastering can technically remain loud while sounding a lot less harsh. That's thanks to aesthetic mixing choices and at least in part due to audio processing and tools like plugins from Oeksound (Soothe) and others

You are very unlikely to hear a difference like this on laptop speakers. Present-day Apple laptop speakers are great feats of engineering for what they are, but they use a bunch of trickery to create the illusion of bass and such. Example:

Due to how my head is wired, I've discovered that I enjoy gaming a lot more after I switched to console two years ago: all settings are curated (for better and worse). I'm not even sure why I didn't switch earlier. The only r

There's a lot of great picks here, such as Gattaca, Man from Earth, Contact, The Matrix, Wall-E, Children of Men, The Fifth Element, 12 Monkeys. I would add Truman Show. Depending on the individual and their patience, Primer (2004) mig

I admittedly don't have kids, but media is so saturated and oversexualized that I personally feel that thought-provoking fiction that dissects and critiques urges is possible and good to explore at some point, in safe company, ammende

I watched Terminator (1984) around that age, perhaps a year younger. It's not great science fiction, but I still like it quite a bit for the drab, claustrophobic atmosphere, with brief "light horror" sequences, which were a p

This is my impression as well, about NYT's business. The "internet person" knee jerk response about paywalls, does have a certain degree of truth about relevance of journalism though, but that's a longer term loss of a c

Was looking for a good place to post this in the thread but I'll just drop it here. Microsoft Teams still lacks multi-account support on desktop. As in, you can't sign on to several business organizations like you can in Slack. It

I understand why this sounds like a bad answer, but it's not half-bad in context. Microsoft 365 absolutely is something of a buffet for companies/orgs with IT budget constraints and compliance-heavy objectives. Just more stuff tha

That plugin is probably based on BlogVault's Migrate Guru, which is available for free and works with a number or hosts. It's a game changer, really.

Cloudways is good at providing a control panel with a user experience resembling expensive Wordpress hosts, including developer workflows and such, while also giving a little more control over the server stack. You pay per server and its re

I used to host small projects on DH. If you need a place where you can out several websites that don't make money for a sustainable, reasonable small cost, you'll be surprised by the price/quality/performance offered by

In my experience, Dreamhost's e-mail has been the part of the service that always worked. I'm under the impression that the architecture of their e-mail service has been some sort of HA clustered setup for ages, and I think one of

I'm curious as to how you dismiss the first pattern, specifically, Russia's treatment of indigenous Crimean Tatars as well as the laughable 2014 "referendum"

Do you work in an international setting where everyone speaks English as a second language, with or without a strong accent? Or, do you find yourself surrounded by native speakers? Is good English a matter of status in this work context? Fo

I'm a native Swedish speaker in Finland[1], blessed with the rights that come with a second official national language. Growing up, I was something of a bookish basement dweller and didn't speak the majority Finnish language outs

The tradeoff seems to be that * Bluetooth offers limited range and uses more battery, and is usually interrupted if someone calls, but supports any application that can play sound. * Spotify Connect is its own Spotify client and downloads t

Any paid Google service with an SLA is perfectly fine. The choice between Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace should mostly be a matter of taste. Google Workspace is very straightforward and largely offers better finish and UX. I personally

Social networks and communications platforms have value because there are people using them. I'm sure you know this, it's called the network effect. Facebook's services are places where people in my demographic have accumulat

No, I find them to be a lot more ambitious than that. Worth browsing around the site, and you'll see it's not spammy at all. If you run a serious web project, ownership of domain names is critical asset management, especially if y
